The "Alloun" Maneuver: A New Technique for Repositioning Difficult-To-Access Renal Stones During Endoscopic Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Flexible renoureteroscopy and percutaneous nephroscopy are both the gold standards to treat kidney stones. The success rate of these techniques depends mainly on the location of the stone. In some challenging positions, access to the stone is impossible, indicating the failure of the whole procedure. Striving to access a stone in a challenging position can expose the endoscope to a high level of torsion that can damage it. We propose a new technique of stone repositioning applicable during percutaneous nephrolithotomy or flexible ureteroscopy using a laser fiber of any diameter. This technique is particularly useful when the stone is only partially accessible. We have developed this simple, easy, and cost-effective trick to minimize our rate of procedure failure and to prevent material forced torsion.
